- Abstract
- Femtosecond IR pump UV probe spectroscopy was employed in the gas phase to study intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution (IVR) in benzene and five monosubstituted derivatives thereof. After selective excitation of the first overtone of the ring CH-stretch vibration, all molecules showed the same two-step redistribution dynamics characteristic for nonstatistical IVR. The nature of the substituent influences mainly the second, slower IVR component. The presence of an internal rotor does not alter the redistribution rate or pathway compared to that of a monatomic substituent of equal mass. Coupling order model calculations reflect the experimental trends well if the polyatomic substituents are regarded as decoupled from the intra-ring dynamics and modeled as point masses.
